Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles


The Columbus knQuirpf-Sln thinks it has
habit from pretty good authority that the
directors Of the Central railroad have voted
to extend the Busna Vista and Ellaville
railroad from Ellaville to Columbus. The
plans have not been given ont yet. and it is
not likely that line has been settled upon.
The EngMirer-S informant thinks from
what a Central director told him that work
on the ro9d will begin in very short time.
The first annual report Of the East Tennes-

A STREET RAILROAD WAR.
The City and Suburban Claims Indian
and West Broad Streets.

The City and Suburban Claims Indian
and West Broad Streets.
The work ON the Rural Resort railway
is progressing steadily, but not so rapidly as
it will as soon as all the material for its con-
struction arrives. The croSsties and string
ers were put down as far as Barnard street,
and the rails were laid as far west as Whit
aker street, yesterday. A force of PAYERS
has begun the work of re-paving the street.
President Smart telegraphed his. first order
for street cars yesterday, and he hopes to
begin operating the line as soon as thatpor-
ton on Bay and Indian streets, from Bull
street to the canal, is completed.
The work Of construction was begun on
Bay street, it is stated, so that all parties
who are opposed to the building of the new
railroad may have a practical demonstra-
ton that the road was being built, and thus
invite any legal measures, and there has
been some surprise expressed that no in
junction has been asked for to stop the
work.
1t was said that the City and Suburban
railway authorities had announced that
their company does not claim the exclusive
right to Bay street, but that it does to
Indian and West Broad streets, and that it
is only waiting until the Rural Resort rail
road begins work on either of these streets
to take legal steps TO stop it. Yesterday
President Smarts attorneys gave notice to
the opposition that the new company pro-
posed TO build on all the streets granted to
it by City Council.
This positive announcement of the inten-
ton Of the Rural Resort railway will, in all
probability, bring matters into court with
out further delay. There are said TO be six
prominent lawyers on the list Of stockhold-
ers in the new company, and if that is the
case, any legal proceedings will be war of
giants, as the old company has employed
some Of the best legal talent in the city to
maintain its rights.
The new railroad proposes to cover with
its lines sections Of the city which now have
little, if any, street railway facilities, and
there is a generally expressed regret that
anything should be done to prevent its early
cOmnlatioO

NOT YET DELIVERED.
The New Jail Still in the Hands of tn @
Contractor

The New Jail Still in the Hands of tn @
Contractor.
The new Jail is still in the hands of the con-
tractor, Mr.. Smith, who is Mr.. Bowe's attor-
ney, not having turned itover yesterday, as
he notified the County Commissioners he
would. 1t is doubtful if the building would
have been accepted had the contractor sig
nitied his readiness to deliver it, as the
architect Mr.. Mcdonald, was not on hand
as it was expected be would be, nor would
the committee of experts have had time to
examine the WORK
Mr. Bowe claims that the work is
all right, and there is no reason
why it should not be received. The Com
missioners, however, have very decided
opinions that it is not such work as
the contract calls for. There are about 81, 600
yet due the contractor, and as matters now
look he viii not get it, unless he finishes the
work according to the specifications as in
terpreted by the Commissioners, except at
the end of a law suit.
1t is TO be hoped, however, that
when the alleged defects are shown
and submitted in detail by the ex-
perts, the contractor will remedy them, and
so bring matters to satisfactory settle
Inent Possibly Mr. Mcdonald may be able
TO bring affairs to an amicable conclusion.

IN THE RACE TO STAY.
The Clerkship Contest Developing g.
Hot Campaign.


Hot Campaign.
The political caldron in Savannah has
had no fire under it since last winter, until
within the last few days, when it began to
simmer with the prospective contest over
the election of a Clerk OF the Superior
Court. The mythical political vessel is get
ting hotter every day, and if SOMEBODY don't
withdraw from the contest, it will, in a
week more, contain a very hot stew.
In the absence of other election matter,
the Schwarz-Carr campaign is the principal
topic of conversation in the saloons, cigar
stores, and barber shops south Of Congress
street. Mr. Carr is making very close per
| sonal canvass, and appears to have devel-
oped much strength.
To the surprise of Maj. Schwarz's friends,
Mr.. Carr apparently has a large following
among the Germans who were supposed to
be solid for their fellow countryman. 1t
was reported yesterday that so many of
the Majors friends had gone over to the OPP
position that he had decided to come down.
1t was also rumored that apetition had been
gotten up by a number Of lawyers and was
being circulated among the Majors friends,
requesting him not to antagoni2e MIR. Carr.
Maj Schwarz, however, stated that he
had entered the race after full considera
ton of the matter, and that he is in to stay,

There was also rumor that Mr.. Carr
had withdrawn from the contest and had
made a combination with Mai. Schwarz.
Mr.. Carr was asked if there was any truth
in the report, and he said there was none.

justice to myself or to my friends if should

men are earnest in their support of Mr..
Carr, and they are urging him as young
mems candidate.
A well known, conservative member of
the bar said yesterday that he proposed to
support Maj Schwarz' because of his well
known business ability and his creditable
record as an Alderman. Along Broughton

Mr.. Carr is the favorite. Both gentlemen
have strong friends at work, and if both
continue in the field it will be difficult to
tell which is the strongest until election day.

SIGHTS AT THE CIRCUS.
Barrett Draws a Big Crowd and Fills
His Coffe rs.

His COffe RS.
Barrett's circus, with the usual accom-
paniment of fakirs and side-shows, held
sway on the Whitaker street grounds yes
terday. 1t was no more nor less than the
regulation show, with all that accom-
panies it, II began with street parade,
and ended with the knocking to pieces of
the seats and the folding of the tents after
the night performance was over. 1t was
the ordinary circus over and over again.
There was nothing new in the ring OF in
the menagerie, except JoJo. He is all that
he has been advertised, and as ugly-looking
as the billboard posters have pictured him.
The rest of the menagerie part of the show
was made up of the usual collection of ele-
phants camels, lions, tigers, hippopotami,
mountain goats, and monkeys and their rela-
tives. In the circus the acrobatic and aerial
performances were good.
There were no printed programmes, and
the audience didn't know whether the clown
was Johnny Lowlow or the shade of Den
Stone. The rest of the performers would
have gone under one name as we'll as
another for all the audience knew about
them The equestrian performances We're
fair. The bicycling and speciality acts, Jug
Cling, cannon ball handling and tight
rope walking were what every circus
has, no better, no worse. The vaulting was
good.
The main thing about the show was that
it drew well. The tent was two thirds filled
at the afternoon performance, and the night
audience was still larger. Savannah is a
good circus town, and it is a poor circus
that comes here and goes away without hay
